  2. Fly Hard on Army Tests Autonomous Black Hawk Helicopter · · Score: 1

    This is well and good, but what happens when a Marine types 'FLY HARD' into the console and hits return?

  4. Different applications? on Raspberry Pi's $25 Model A Hits Production Line · · Score: 1

    So the Model B was used by people to enable them to say they owned a Raspberry Pi.
    What will the Model A be used for?

  5. This can only be good. on Flexible Phones 'Out By 2013' · · Score: 1

    Paper and similar materials can keep bending forever with out ever breaking, so I can't see anything going wrong with this.

  9. Re:Surprised? on Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authentication · · Score: 1

    And what's more, this article talks about how they don't know the password mechanics of a good MMO either!

  10. Re:sell! sell! sell! on Should a Teenage Entrepreneur Sell Out To Facebook? · · Score: 1

    Instagram did it by dropping the quality of high-resolution photos.
    Maybe Facebook will pay more if this guy replaces the hard disks with 3.5" floppies

  11. This might not be new! on Camera Technique Captures New View of Space & Time · · Score: 3

    Hey guys, I think this technique may already exist.
    I'm just going by the fact that fifteen other people have independently pointed out the same thing.

  12. Just a small chunk out of the savings. on Cash-Strapped States Burdened By Expensive Data Security Breaches · · Score: 2

    I guess this is just a small bite out of the savings made by switching to digital records.
    If it gets too large, they can just switch back to print.
    Or does it not work like that?

    Excellent board!

  15. Re:wtf is a digital archery contest? on ICANN To Replace 'Digital Archery' Program With Raffle · · Score: 1

    From: http://www.mindsandmachines.com/2012/06/the-biggest-glitch-of-all-icanns-batching-program-for-new-gtlds/
    "ICANN has determined that it can only evaluate 500 applications at a time. It is therefore using something called “digital archery” to separate applications into batches. An applicant picks a time, then attempts to click a mouse as close to that time as possible. The closer you are, the higher batch number you achieve. Combined with this is a round-robin method meant to assure that applications for different regions are fairly represented, though in practice it is grossly unfair. This entire program is flawed, unfair, and will create mayhem and ill-will. And it is completely unnecessary."

  16. Cheaper Alternatives on Report: Apple To Switch From Samsung to TSMC For ARM CPU Production · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't wait for the prices of non-Apple TVs to crash, just like the MP3 player market.
    This can only be good for the discerning consumer.

  20. Re:Lord. on 802.11ad Will Knock Your Socks Off, Says Interop Panel · · Score: 5, Funny

    DC. Everyone knows AC is for killing animals on stage and generating that relaxing hum in audio devices. DC is the way of the future.

  21. Re:Are we suddenly following the alphabet? on 802.11ad Will Knock Your Socks Off, Says Interop Panel · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm sure there's not going to be a massive amount of confusion between 802.11a and 802.11ac or 802.11ad. People are far too tech-savvy these days!

  22. This scam was still going?! on Regulators Smash Global Phone Tech Support Scam Operation · · Score: 1

    And $188,000..., sounds like everyone will get their money back!

    Yeah, finally something other than XBMC for all those sheep to use their dusty Pis for!

  24. It'll never happen. on Researchers Using AI To Build Robotic Bees · · Score: 1

    Shows like Here Comes Honey Boo Boo make me realise we will just never understand the human brain.

  25. Can someone please explain the original ruling? on EU Set To Charge Microsoft Over Ruling Breach · · Score: 1

    Why do they need to give the option? It's not like they are charging extra money for a browser... it's free. As are most other browsers.
    I guess I never understood why they don't also need to present alternatives to basically every other application that comes with Windows (MSPaint, Calculator, Solitaire, Notepad, etc). Why not?
